Now please decide wich one is correct!This is because in the early days of Linnaean nomenclature,many species were known only from preserved or cultivatedspecimens. There was no way of knowing which of thesespecimens could have interbred, nor of how much variationthe offspring would show, so each different variant had aseparate name. In some cases, different specimens of asingle species were put in three or four different genera --just try sorting out the synonymy of, for example, theCalifornia fan palm, Washintonia filifera.> Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris' cf. ? syn. Colocasia> esculenta 'Illustris'Colocasia esculenta is the species. It has threesubspecies, C. e. esculenta, C. e. antiquorum, and C. e.aquatilis. Anything with one of those last two as itsspecies name, is properly C. esculenta.> > Colocasia esculenta (?var. ?subsp.) fallax cf. ? syn.> Colocasia fallax ?
